Thank you, Discipulus. I'll look into all the sources that you have suggested. Damian Conway's rules were particulary useful. And, yes, thank you for confirming that OOP is slower - I think by 30%. If I remember it correctly, the author Randal Schwartz had mentioned this piece of information in his book. However, it was in 2003 that he made this statement. I'm unsure how OOP behaves on present day computers assuming that the trend for computer performance is to improve each year. I have heard of Moose and Moo lately but I do not have any idea what they could actually do. I'll look into it as well. If you have the time, I'd appreciate it if you could share with me the author of Perl Cookbook. :)
